declaration of variable problem

Hello

I am having a problem with the following code

VB Code:

Dim numAvailableSlotsDL,numslotsDLTx As Integer

the code throws up an error saying that

Quote:

---

Compiel error:
byref argument type mismatch

---

and the only way to correct it is by writing the definitions as

VB Code:

Dim numAvailableSlotsDL As Integer
Dim numslotsDLTx As Integer

what is the wrong with the first version of my code, i.e.

VB Code:

Dim numAvailableSlotsDL,numslotsDLTx As Integer

First off, the second way is always prefereble IMO. It is much clearer.

However, if you really really want to declare more than one variable on a single line (which drives me buggy :mad: ), then do

VB Code:

Dim intVar As Integer, intVar1 As Integer, intVar2 As Integer

Etcetera

If I remember correctly, VB interprets the first variable as a variant because the type isn't specified.

Your memory serves you well schoolbusdriver :thumb:

Aside from the fact that I think declaring each variable individually, on a separate line, makes for far more clarity, this is another reason why I don't line mulitple variables declarations stretched out across one, single, line.
